ANOTHER ROUTE.
The Railroads that Boom in the
Spriug, Apparently Boom

Tongue River From Source to
Mouth the Route now Being
Built on Paper.
THE Ii. a NJ. ROUTE.

The II. VI. kOCTE.
Surveys for the New Road Completed Ia the
Mouth of Prairie Dog-Prospects of the
Line Continuing Down Tongue River.
The engineers have just finished
the line TO the mouth Of Prairie Dog
creek and they found the valley more
favorable for good line than it had
been represented. They now have q
continuous location from south of
Murphy's gulch to Tongue river In
both valleys. and the one selected will
most probably depend on the direc-
ton In which the line is to run In
Montana. The Goose creek valley is
the natural route from Sheridan
through the northwestern part Of
Montana. Although that section Of
country is now In the Indian reserva-
tion, the time will come when its rich
and fertile land will be thrown open
to settlers, and the most fertile part Of
1t made productive. That route will
benefit Sheridan and Johnson county
more than the other. but either will
DO vast amount Of good.
The route running continuously
down prairie Dog to It's mouth Is an
easy way to follow on down Tongue
river TO the Yellowstone. This line
has an advantage In avoiding the
necessity of crossing the divide be-
tween Prairie Dog and Goose creek,
but in that respect alone 1t In cheaper
or better than the Sheridan line. This
line has been run 30 a. to do as little
damage as. possible to the farming
land and by keeping near the stream
most of the way, 1t leaves unframed
nearly all of the large meadows. OF
course there are some places where
the construction will do more or less
actual damage, but IL must be borne In
mind that land will increase In value
very rapidly and that an inestimAbie
benefit will be conferred on the people
Of the county.
The railroad company has to pay
for actual damage TO property, but not
for sentimental or imaginary injury.
and the farmer whose land is trsvers-
ed by line has to take insd consider
alton the benefits derived rs well as
the injury inflicted. ALI these mat
ters are Of interest TO the. p5ple along
the route, yet they are Of secondary
Importance when the country and its
numerous business interests are con-
sidered.
